Legend of the Cybermen was a part of Big Finish Productions' wholly original season for the Sixth Doctor in 2010. It was notable for featuring the first joint appearance of Frazer Hines and Wendy Padbury since The Five Doctors — and the first appearance of Zoe Heriot alongside the Sixth Doctor — in performed Doctor Who.
Publisher's summary
The Cybermen are on the march through the Hundred Realms, killing and converting as they go. Resistance is useless. Trapped on the outermost fringes of the battle, the Doctor and Jamie are astonished to encounter an old friend: astrophysicist Zoe Heriot. It's the happiest of reunions. But what hope is there of a happy ending against the unstoppable Cybermen?
